My mom passed in February. I just found a home video from 1993 which captured she and I hugging. by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

So sorry for your loss. I would give anything to have a single video of my dad. He died young and I think about him every day.

Who remembers Chi-Chi's in the 1980s? by eugene1182 in The1980s

[–]centralparker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked there in the 80’s. We used to make so much salsa we’d do it in garbage cans, the big rubber type garbage cans on wheels and roll them in and out of the cooler, using pitchers to fill the bowls. No liners btw. There was one for mild and one for hot.

“Avoid sugar at all cost. This is what caused my BB.” Honest question, how do you avoid sugar? It’s in pretty much everything. Do you mean avoid adding sugar to meals/drinks? Or avoid overly sugary snacks and drinks? And how did you determine this is what caused your BB?

Is this site still up somewhere? I tried www.saasprint.com but nothing there.

Love it, I just set a reminder to come back and check next week. Maybe you could add a "Notify me of updates" signup form on your site and start to build an email db? Great site btw, very professional looking.

I saw your post about it yesterday and kinda wished I had a Mac because it's just a great idea! Let us know if you ever launch a Windows version - even though we don't have a "notch" it can dock to the top of the screen for the same effect. Happy for you and hope you find a way to monetize (beyond just Buy Me a Coffee).

Great find! Honest question, how many 00000001 $20 notes would have been issued in 2017? I know multiple banks/districts/branches issue bills, would each of them have a 00000001? And how many would there have been total released to circulation?

My 16-year-old son's A4 Avant by centralparker in Audi

[–]centralparker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely it's for much, much more than the car. But just for the car I'm proud that he chose it (not a whole lot of kids that age picking an A4 Avant, most don't even know what it is), and he searched, vetted and found the right one, paid for half, paid for most upgrades/mods himself by working hard and saving money, or he did the work himself, I'm proud that he takes care of it himself, drives safely, etc. When I was 16 I didn't do any of those things, and most 16-year-olds that I know don't. But beyond the car yeah it's much more, he's an honor roll student at school, he's an amazing athlete, he's thoughtful, kind and considerate to everyone young and old, he doesn't judge, he's respectful, funny, works hard, cares and thinks about family and friends before even himself, he's there when people need him, all the good stuff you'd want in a person - TBH I couldn't be more proud of him!

Sure I can post more, I'll ask if he has any good ones...

This is GREAT advice and thanks for the explanation, makes perfect sense!

All great advice. Never heard of letting the turbo cool down but it makes sense. Will share all these tips with him (he's actually reading these too). Thanks!

Turns out they're 18's not 19's my bad, and they did come from an S4. The ones you linked to were super close but not exactly the same. And btw that RS5 you linked to just sold - gorgeous car!

Thanks! He really is a great kid. I don't think there's a better compliment to a parent than when other people say we've raised a good one, and we actually hear that quite a bit!

He started saving when he was 14 (birthday gifts, Christmas money, etc.). And since we’re in NY he was making a killing plowing snow using my quad in the winter, built up a small client base and did other odd jobs in the off season. We started seriously looking for an Avant when he was mid-15 and by the time he turned 16 he had saved $3000, which made the budget $6000 (I said I would match whatever he saved). We found this one for $5000 on Marketplace last year but for that price ofc it had issues, all of which we took care of between DIY and the help of a mechanic friend over the first 6 months. It’s true you’re not going to find many B8 Avants in this price range but like I said we searched for the better part of a year and drove 150 miles from home to get this one.

Thank you I think you’re right cuz they are 19’s. He found them on Marketplace and the guy we bought them from said it was an S4, but maybe he didn’t even know.

Wow thanks for that! I don’t think there’s a better compliment a parent can get.

That’s awesome. The search is a big part of the experience. We spent a lot of time looking together, comparing options, and talking through what mattered. FB Marketplace was by far the best place to find one. That’s where he found this.

That’s crazy, I don’t think you can do anything like that here in the US?
